…and could change again, up until 5PM on the day orders are created (usually Mondays).I will try to update this post by 4:30PM on that day if I decide to change anything.I usually don’t make late changes, but you never know…

I decided to make these ‘sharebuilder’ investments twice monthly, usually on the 1st & 3rd Tuesday, using 6 of the 12 ‘free’ trades each investment day.

UPDATE: 11/21/17 While these goals remain for these accounts, they will be at a new broker. Transfers will begin early next month to Merrill Edge, and only a few holdings will remain here. There will no longer be any sharebuilder updates (i.e.; this will be the last sharebuilder update). The issues that will not be transferred are; ACSF, BDCL, CEFL, MORL, & REML (because they are unavailable for investing at Merrill Edge). All remaining issues will be transferred to the new broker ASAP. All cash in each account, except for approximately $75.00 or so to cover transfer/closeout fees will be either invested, withdrawn, or transferred to the new broker. I think it’s an understatement to say that my opinion of Capital One Investing (ShareBuilder) has soured considerably, especially in the past month (for undisclosed reasons). Once these transfers have been completed, transfers of DTC discout eligible securities to corresponding accounts held at Fidelity will gradually take place.

Roth-P For this non-taxable account, investments are calculated automatically on the Roth-P tab in my Google sheets. Check it out! I look for Rank by Annualized (“Total Return”), and pick the top 6 for investments in this untaxed account. Investment amounts are weighted, with the highest ranked getting the largest investment, and shared proportionately among the remaining 5 investments. With this method, my aim is to increase the amounts paid each month as well as the likelihood that a security may get sold, having risen adequately in share price and generating a positive Total Return.

I look for Yield On Cost (“YOC”), and pick the top 6 for investments in this untaxed account.

The dates spreadsheet showing the ex-dividend and payment dates for these holdings can be found in my google sheets. I also try to keep the calendar on my blog updated.

Stay tuned!

As always, YMMV!
